Fish Fire 10 Percent Contained; SR 410 Closure Extended

ENUMCLAW, WA — A portion of State Route 410 will remain closed into next week, as firefighters work to contain a wildfire burning along the highway east of Enumclaw. The Fish Fire has burned at least 120 acres, bringing trees and powerlines down onto SR 410. The highway remains closed in both directions near Southeast Mud Mountain Road, and no detour is available.

On Thursday, updated GPS information around the fire perimeter showed it at 120 acres in size, down from the initial estimate of 150 acres, state officials said. The fire is burning in thick timber and is now 10 percent contained. Photos shared Wednesday showed some of the debris that made a prolonged closure necessary.

A separate two-mile stretch of SR 410, running from Sumner to Bonney Lake, will also remain closed into next week as the Sumner Grade Fire continues to burn at 20 percent containment. That closure is in place between 166th Avenue East and Veterans Memorial Drive East.

According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, maintenance crews will need to replace long sections of guardrail and inspect the hillside for rocks and debris before the highway can safely reopen.
